How
GDPR Policy Pack
iGDPR (General Data Protection Regulations) came into force across the EU in May 2018 and were enactd into UK law buy the Data Protection Act 2018. In plain English, here’s what it is all about:
What is the GDPR? The GDPR is a data privacy regulation from Europe that grants rights to individuals in the EU/EEA over how their personal information gets processed, whether it happens online or offline. It’s technology-neutral and sets out requirements for processing personal data legally.
Who does the GDPR protect? It safeguards any individual physically located in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), regardless of nationality or citizenship status. Whether their information is processed online or offline, the GDPR ensures their rights.
Who does the GDPR apply to? It applies to businesses within the EU/EEA that process personal data as part of their activities, even if the data processing occurs elsewhere. It also covers businesses outside the EU/EEA that process personal information from individuals (whether registered users or not) and either offer goods/services in the EU/EEA or monitor EU/EEA individuals’ behavior.
What rights does the GDPR grant to individuals? Under the GDPR, individuals (called data subjects) have rights like accessing, correcting, amending, restricting, and deleting their personal information. They can also transfer their data in a reusable format (data portability).
What are the GDPR requirements for businesses? Entities under the GDPR must transparently explain their data collection processes in a compliant privacy policy. This policy should state the legal basis for processing each category of personal information and the purposes of that processing1.
Remember, GDPR is all about protecting personal data and ensuring privacy rights for everyone. Complying with GDRP doesn’t need to be complex.
